The reason for the troubles of young athletes was the forced delay of the flight due to adverse weather conditions. Due to freezing rain, flights from Kazan airport in the evening were impossible. Flights of many airlines had to be canceled, passengers were provided with places in hotels.
However, the Pobeda airline, whose plane was supposed to return 22 children and their coaches to Moscow at 20.30 on December 11, did not settle the children in a hotel, the Baza telegram channel notes.

Instead, the children had to spend the whole night on the bus provided by the organizers of the competition.
The children complained that it was very uncomfortable for them to spend the night on the bus. There, all the time I had to turn the stove on and off, because of which the air temperature in the cabin varied from +12 to +30 degrees. Because of such differences, sleeping in the cabin was extremely uncomfortable.
The young swimmers managed to fly home only at about eight o'clock in the morning on December 12.
The editors of NI do not yet have a comment on Pobeda Airlines in connection with the incident.
